Binion's Horseshoe Casino Records on Poker, MS Special Collections, University Libraries, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Las Vegas, Nevada. Biographical Note Casino owner Lester Benjamin "Benny" Binion was born in Texas in He was already a seasoned gambler when he arrived in Las Vegas in 1946, accompanied by his wife Teddy Jane and their five children. After building an earlier casino and enjoying partial ownership of the Las Vegas Club, Binion purchased the Eldorado Club on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada in 1951 and renamed it the Horseshoe Club. Here he established a reputation as a casino operator who provided his customers unmatched hospitality with inexpensive, quality meals and high-limit tables. The Horseshoe was the first downtown property to have a fully carpeted casino. After his conviction for tax evasion in 1953, Benny sold the majority interest in the Horseshoe to Joe W. Brown, but regained full ownershipb by 1964 and the Horseshoe Hotel and Casino was christened Binion's Horseshoe. Benny Binion's son Jack became the president of the Horseshoe and his younger son Lonnie "Ted" Binion acted as casino manager. Although - Page 3-

4 Benny was not licensed he was listed on the payroll for decades as a consultant and was an extremely familiar sight around the casino. Benny Binion passed away on Christmas Day 1989, attended by his wife and son. Binion's greatest contribution to the gaming industry was the introduction of tournament poker. He originally conceived the idea in 1949 when he arranged an extended match between poker greats Nick the Greek and Johnny Moss. Decades later Binion bought the rights to host the World Series of Poker from a casino owner in Reno, Nevada and began hosting the annual tournament at the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada in The contest was open to professional poker players and amateurs alike, provided they could pay the ten thousand dollar buy-in fee. Beginning in 1977, a separate women's event was established within the larger tournament, a move which broke a barrier to a game traditionally perceived as masculine and received a large amount of press within the industry. The increasing popularity of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) attracted more and more players and potential winnings increased to an excess of a million dollars, while the Binions orchestrated a system of time-limited play that allowed the tournaments to be televised on networks such as ESPN. Binion's Horseshoe hosted the World Series of Poker for over thirty years. Although no longer held at the Horseshoe, since its purchase by Harrah's in 2004, the official WSOP tournament continues each year. Scope and Contents Note The Binion's Horseshoe Casino Poker Records ( ) are composed of materials related to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) held at Binion's Horseshoe Casino. The materials date primarily between 1969 and Publicity and promotional materials include press releases and press kits, newspaper and advertising clippings, photographs, advertising campaigns, and advertising copy. These records were mainly generated by the Binion press agent, Henri Bollinger. Other topics covered in the collection include the establishment of the Poker Hall of Fame, and promotional and publicity efforts by Binion's Horseshoe in the 1970s and 1980s. A significant amount of printed and photographic publicity material within the WSOP series focuses on women poker players and gender-related issues in the industry and covers the late 1970s to early 1980s.
